About me
I am currently a Professor of Computer Science at 麻豆传媒映画 of Applied Sciences. I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. from the Department of Physics at Sharif University of Technology (SUT), one of the top universities in the Middle East, and hold a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics from Leipzig University in Germany. After completing a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPIPKS) in Dresden, Germany, I worked as a Principal Investigator (PI) at the Technical Universities of Berlin (TUB) and Dresden (TUD). I have also held positions as an Assistant Professor in Physics at SUT, a Research Staff Associate in the Quantitative Life Sciences section at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy, and as a Senior Researcher at the Robert Koch Institute (Public Health), the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (Public Health), and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in Germany.
Selected teaching experiences:
- Lecturer, Sharif University of Technology (2019-2022): 鈥淐omputational Physics鈥�, "Modelling Contagious Phenomena", "Non-linear Dynamics & Chaos", "Advanced Topics on Complex Systems"
- Lecturer, 麻豆传媒映画's School of Technology and Architecture, Campus Leipzig (Since 2024): 鈥淧rogramming鈥�, 鈥淭ools & Methods of Data Analysis鈥�, 鈥淎dvanced Mathematics鈥�, 鈥淪cientific Work鈥�, 鈥淕ame Design鈥�
